Meh. For those of us that own all the games already, there isn't much in the way of exclusives to justify the purchase.

[G-Boobie]

Now, I'm going to buy this, because I'm a dumb consumer whore... but I would have thought some Street Fighter Alpha would be included. Strange omission.

[Edmond Dantes]

I actually kind of want this, even though its kind of pointless.

I mean, including the entire animated series is cool, but I already have it from ADV's DVD release.

[Ryudo]

I want to get this.

Not played SXT yet or SFIV I mainly sold on the 11 disc OST.

Why would anyone want this?

No love for the Van Damme movie?

OR THE GAME?

Those sans af bitchess!

[Orion Pimpdaddy]

It'll sell. In fact, we'll probably see it in the Room of Doom Collection Galleries.

Seems pretty on par with about any kids show that was licensed. Not really that bad.

[Superman]

Not much I can say about the set, but the Ryu statue looks nice.

Eh, to be honest I bought it out of curiosity during an extreme Street Fighter phase I had awhile ago... and I wound up thinking "this is actually pretty good, for how much it rapes the source material." Which is actually not much. If you can accept that all the "good" characters are part of some secret version of G.I. Joe then everything else kinda falls into place.

Also its the only animated version where Blanka has a huge role. Freakin' Blanka.

Talk NO SHIT about my boy Blanka.

My buddy is a huge Street Fighter canon guy, which I think is hysterically funny. Whatver story it might have had had devolved into "excuse for burly racial stereotypes to digitally punch each other" even before they were done with the Street Fighter II series. Whatever you might think about the anime series, it trumps the games by at least being coherent. Not that it matters. Those guys are currently duking it out with their homies from Tekken, and it only gets worse from there.

Because an action cartoon without stupidity is no action cartoon worth my time. Plus it's a great sequel-ish followup to the movie, basking in the same 80s action cartoon shenanigans from the film.

these can already be pre-ordered on the capcom store website. I'd like to get one, but I gotta wait till I have the funds. You guys think these will sell out quickly?

Doubtful. They are also available for pre-order on Amazon. Frankly, I wouldn't order from Capcom as they use Digital River for their fulfillment which is lousy at packaging things and won't refund shipping either way if you have to return a damaged item. Also, Capcom will do nothing to intervene on damaged items. So, your best bet would be to order from Amazon or Gamestop as at least you can return the item and get your money back if there is a problem.

Bojay isn't wrong about Digital River, even though I went ahead and ordered through them today. You should probably know that as of this moment, the only place to actually ORDER one of these is Capcom Unity: Amazon has a page up, but it's one of those "we'll email when it's available for pre-order" things.

You should also know that if you pre-order on Capcom Unity, they're going to ding your card RIGHT NOW TODAY.

Actually, Amazon has had live preorders open for about the last 3-4 hours. I'm sure Gamestop will be next.

Wake me up when they give the Alpha Series the HD Facelift it deserves.

[The 1 2 P]

I actually like big collections like this, just not the prices they tend to go for. I'm also not a Street Fighter fan but I would pick this up if I saw it on the cheap. It would be a nice way to get caught back up on the series. My last experience with SF was the Chun Li movie and well.....um, I'll just leave it at that.

[Edmond Dantes]

Talk NO SHIT about my boy Blanka.

I... wasn't talking shit about him. I cited his role as a positive.

Although I can see how it reads differently. I shoulda worded it better.
